Abstract :
This paper introduces a novel protocol for the transport of WATM cells over the reverse link of DS-CDMA cell. The QoS is offered in terms of the BER, and a cell deferring method is introduced and analysed. A new method to regulate the offered load in the ABR section is also described, which increases the throughput of ABR cells. Monte-Carlo simulations of the protocol, backed up by Markov analysis results, are also presented
